Flying Flock of News Coos!

"Commodore!"

"Commodore!"

"Wow!"

As Vidal followed Fleet Admiral Kong and Vice Admiral Amyz off the warship on the wooden planks, he saw Rogers, Isoka, Rabani, and others calling out to him from a distance. At the same time, a swift, small green figure ran over quickly and then leaped towards him.

"Hey, my little manatee!" Vidal looked at the little creature in his arms and laughed heartily. Borsalino, who was beside him, curiously came over and, seeing the sailor hat on the Kung Fu Dugong's head, asked, "What's that? When did you get a pet?"

Sakazuki didn't speak, but his gaze fell on the manatee, especially its navy cap.

"Ah, it's a Kung Fu Dugong I brought back from Alabasta. It's very intelligent and has a great talent for boxing."

As he spoke, he placed the manatee on his broad shoulders and then walked toward Rogers and the others. By this time, they had arrived at the G-2 Branch fortress. The Fleet Admiral Kong's body had been severely damaged in this battle, so he decided to rest here for a few days.

As for Borsalino, he was originally Lieutenant Colonel here, so it's not surprising that he came back. Sakazuki should have returned to the G-6 Branch to report, but Kong said that instead of going back and then going to headquarters, it would be better for him to come along first and then go to Marineford together.

This point doesn't really need to be explained in detail; everyone can understand what it means. Defeating 'Red the Aloof' is no small matter. At the very least, one's military rank will definitely be promoted. And for appointments at the colonel level or above at headquarters, one needs to obtain a document personally signed by the Fleet Admiral at headquarters and also receive a new Justice Coat.

Although the Kong is right in front of us, a rank promotion can't be done so casually. Everything that's required must be there, and the documents and overcoat are still at headquarters.

So once he's rested enough, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Vidal will all have to go with him. Luckily Oxhead Battleship, Rogers and the others had already escaped back here on Vidal's orders, so it saves them the trouble of looking for them again.

"I'm so glad you're alright!" Isoka said with a worried expression.

Captain Rabani nodded repeatedly, "Yes, when we realized you hadn't returned after half a day, we were about to turn back!"

"I stopped them." Major Rogers stepped forward, but he didn't explain further, believing Vidal would understand.

"Well done!" Vidal nodded. If they had taken the warship back then, they would have only caused him trouble and would not have been of any real help.

"That's enough with the mutual comforting words. Come on, let's go try G-2's curry and see how good the base chefs are!" Vidal patted Rogers and Rabani on the shoulder and led the way past the crowd to join the Fleet Admiral Kong and his group.

"Well, we've had this many times these past few days. It's alright, but I don't think it's as good Commodore the plant-based curry rice you make," Isoka commented with a smile.

"Of course! My curry is a Black Bull Curry, a fusion of Ganges curry, Black Boat curry, coconut curry, and many other curry styles. I guarantee it will invigorate you and get your blood pumping!"

Meanwhile, white News Coo flew from the island where the World Economy News Paper Office was located in different directions, their pouches filled with the latest newspapers, still slightly warm.

The battle between Fleet Admiral "Steelbone" Sky and Red the Aloof "Red Count" Redfield has lasted for more than ten days. As an all-pervasive World Economy News Paper certainly wouldn't have been unaware of it. In these few days, countless mysterious reporters have had enough time to understand the general situation.

For example, Redfield was initially chasing Vidal, and then Borsalino, Sakazuki, and others came to his aid. They even knew that Redfield was doing this because Vidal and Byrnndi World had destroyed their hometown, Sleep Ancient Town!

It's worth noting that Redfield only mentioned this to Kong once throughout the entire process. What does that signify?

It's terrifying to think about.

So these past few days have been enough for the newspaper editors to write several articles, but to get them published, there has to be a result. So these days they've been watching closely and waiting silently for the outcome to be decided.

The defeat of Kong almost led to the newspaper publishing the story, since it seemed like the matter was over. But then Vidal and his two companions clashed with Redfield again.

The editor-in-chief had no choice but to burn all the printed newspapers and have the editors rewrite the articles while continuing to wait for the results.

The news that the Fleet Admiral was defeated in a one-on-one duel with Red the Aloof was already big enough. Even if Redfield then defeated Vidal, Borsalino, Sakazuki, it would just be icing on the cake.

But then a huge upset happened: three naval rookies in their early twenties actually defeated that Red the Aloof, and were even killed by Ryokugyu Vidal himself!

To be honest, the entire newspaper was stunned when they received the information. When they came to their senses, the atmosphere reached its peak, and everyone worked frantically to write the story and send it to every corner of the ocean.

This is their responsibility as journalists! And it's also their most enjoyable moment!

To put it bluntly, this is where most of the world's most troublesome bastards gather.

Soon, this emergency supplement to the World Economy News Paper once again shocked the Four Blues and the entire Grand Line. Let's see what this newspaper says!

First and foremost, the most eye-catching headline was. "Fleet Admiral Defeated! Red the Aloof General Killed in Battle!"

I have to say, this headline is absolutely brilliant; it perfectly captures the most captivating aspect of the whole thing.

The editor who selected the article then divided the entire news content into several different sections according to the sequence of events, and each section also had a subheading.

"Ryokugyu" Vidal angers the Red Count again!

The passage begins with a brief introduction to Vidal's identity, then recounts his past experience of being hunted by 'World Destroyer' Bundy Byrnndi World,' before posing a question with a curious tone: Why does Vidal seem to enjoy stirring up trouble so much? First he messed with Byrnndi World, then with Redfield —was it intentional, or just pure bad luck?

"Ryokugyu, Akainu, and Kizaru vs. Red Count!"

This section focuses on Borsalino and Sakazuki, especially their photos, heights, ranks, and most importantly, their Devil Fruit abilities. When it's mentioned that they are both top-tier Logia Devil Fruit users, the editor's shock is palpable. Finally, the editor brings up the titles given to the two by Vidal and boldly predicts that in a few years, when the three grow up, the Navy will usher in its most prosperous era—the Great Navy Era!

It has to be said that Borsalino and Sakazuki, who were originally only quite famous within the Marine Headquarters, became famous overnight because of this battle. In fact, because Redfield spoke out what Vidal was thinking, he even got a title in advance.

Then comes the main event.

"Twelve Days of Fierce Battle! The Fleet Admiral Defeated by Red the Aloof!" and "Red the Aloof Dies at the Hands of Ryokugyu!"

There were even high-resolution photos of Kong lying empty in front of Redfield, and Redfield being lifted up by Vidal with one hand around his neck!!

This made Forrest Vidal an absolute sensation across the entire ocean.
